lol Mayfield

I also watch the grass grow :-D much more interesting than tv.

Seriously........ I sit out on the back deck a lot, watching the wildlife..... birds, possums, water dragons, snakes etc......... at this time of year I'm watching whales.

:-D

TV is always dire in the summer months - the schedule programmers think we should all be sunning ourselves in Antigua or where ever the 'In' place is now.

Nothing new likely to come up until the autumn. :-(

In the meantime we're stuck with Sports and repeats of
Cookery
Murder/Mysteries
Fly on the wall 'documentaries'

So what do we do? Turn off, read a good book, put on a DVD or watch paint dry.

Oh look, the viewing numbers are down - even more reason not to commission new series.

There may be a few new gems knocking around..............it you manage to spot them on the schedules.

"Load of rubbish on tv, I'd rather play on the computer, or watch paint dry."

Yes and since the advent of quick drying water based gloss paints it's got soooo much more exciting :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Who will be watching the Commonwealth Games?

I'll watch some :-)

And on top of all that our Cricket team are not doing well either!!

I can watch Cricket all day on telly. Can even put up with Rugby.

But Football and Tennis, all the hullabaloo - and queueing up for days to get a ticket for Wimbledon. They are all mad, mad I tell you........

7 Brits started out yesterday at Wimbledon, now only 2 left in.......

God we are pretty crap at any sport at the moment. Thankfully our athletes seem to be doing a bit better. (oh and I find that boring too!)

When at school I was in the Hockey, Netball and Rounders teams. But watching them on tv nah...

Load of rubbish on tv, I'd rather play on the computer, or watch paint dry.

Like Tenerife Sun, only have very limited English TV. so have almost given up on it. Tennis, football, cricket or repeats of Location, Location, Location, A Place in the Sun or Poirot.
Wonderful.

Lol I have corrected that Bob, I should know better than to use the I pad when I am tired.
Jax sorry yes you are right,mI missed the other half hour.

My Oh tends to commandeer the TV at times and now and again there is something watchable on ITV3 so I tried watching ITV3+1

only to find out that ITV3+1 comes to a dead stop just after midnight!!

sad innitt?

Ann,
I thought your comment "vetter" was to do with the weather.......T'was raining on Wimbledon.....earlier

sorry........ooops! ;-)

I only have a very limited amount of English telly to choose from, take away all the sports that's on now and there's not much left to watch. I often don't even switch it on now. I have done a bit more on my family tree :-D

I agree with you Maggie, cheap and boring tv.

Ann
A good time to get those scrap books done ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D

I'm currently watching a programme about Althorp

As someone who only watches the Grand Prix (and usually only the highlights), and never watches soaps, tonight, I have the choice of repeats, more repeats, or what some apparently consider 'entertainment' - watching the police or paramedics, or programmes about (especially selected) unemployed, benefits cheats (that'll be jobless, rather than Bosses/ministers/already overpaid but need to steal a bit more). etc
To me that's cheap TV, and not at all entertaining.

Emmerdale is on Thurs & Fri. 7pm & 8pm all 1/2 hr episodes.

On Thurs we get 1/2 hr of Rise of the Super Rats. (can't wait) between the emmerdale episodes.


:-D

Thought I heard them say it was an hour long one Thursday and friday

For those of us who don't like sport it just got even better.
Tennis football tennis...... Or football football tennis, and on Thursday wowee, we get 30 minutes of Emmerdale...... Wonderful.... NOT! :-(
